PA HB2319

Adds telecommunicators (911 dispatchers, call takers, and supervisors) to the Emergency and Law Enforcement Personnel Death Benefits Act, making them eligible for the same death benefits as firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other emergency personnel

Surviving spouses or minor children of telecommunicators who die in the line of duty would receive $100,000 plus monthly payments equal to the deceased's salary (minus workers' compensation or pension benefits); if no spouse or children survive, parents receive the $100,000 lump sum

Telecommunicators who suffer fatal heart attacks or strokes while on duty, or within 24 hours of responding to an emergency, are presumed to have died in the line of duty

Defines "telecommunicator" as an individual employed by a public safety answering point whose primary responsibility is receiving, processing, or dispatching emergency and non-emergency calls for police, fire, EMS, or other public safety services

Takes effect 60 days after enactment
